House: The worst plane trip ever and a midlife crisis

Ok, totally didn’t expect to turn on this week’s House and the first thing be a 58-year-old woman paying for sexual deeds with another woman. Or that while searching her home Chase and Cameron would have sex… I understand they are stringing along the sexy subplot to create even more tension among our overly stressed crew, but is it really necessary for them to make it that awkward? They could have noticed the cat without that.
And then we have House and Cuddy stuck in an airplane with a dying man no one can speak to and the rest of the passengers showing symptoms, even the usually cool Cuddy. Why must the simplest answer be the correct one? Why for once can’t we actually have a whole plane full of an epidemic? Is this a commentary on how our media/government sets off mass hysteria in the public with every announcement?
It would have been so cool to see a surgery 1000 miles in the air, or that the guy was a mule (ok, so this time the simplest answer wasn’t correct). But the bends? Threw that in at the last minute, didn’t we.
And then our promiscuous matron (two plots in one show, it actually wasn’t as confusing as you’d think) who in the beginning we thought got something from her midlife crisis was actually poisoned by her own home. Punished for coming back to an ordinary lifestyle? Makes us all think about taking a vacation. Just not on a plane.
